What kind of paper does everyone use when making covers to fit 4 disc size boxes?

[tmscrapbook]

I use Epson presentation paper - matte finish - legal size. It makes a quality looking cover.

I use A4 size Mirror Premium Plus Photo Paper - High Gloss 150GSM. I find smaller weight (<150GSM) to be too floppy for the job. Then I use an A4 guillotine to crop the cover to size :-)

for 14mm cases - premium matte presentation paper 120gms

Since I don't sell anything but only use the cover art from here for my own DVDs, I simply print on legal size 24lb bright white copy paper & trim in a large paper cutter, and it's getting harder to find good ones at a reasonable price. Since the cases have a glossy clear plastic outer cover, I see no point in glossy paper & as for weight, once it's under the plastic, it's immaterial. Yes, you'd get better results with a better grade of paper, but for personal use, it's fine & everyone who's seen my DVDs in their cases think they're retail. Nobody has ever commented, except to voice complete surprise when I tell them I made them myself.

I must agree with dowsnow here

 

A decently thick paper gives that proffessional touch to a cover. Using just photocopier paper is asking for trouble. not only will it tend to slip from the cover it holds the colour design much better.

 

A couple of bucks more but it gives off a nice look.

 

Just my two pennies worth.
